Training

Learning
basic techniques is only the beginning. How to apply the technique
with continuing positive reinforcement will create the optimum result
for both dog and handler.

We have a comprehensive training program based on multiple skill levels. To have a fully trained service animal it takes several years of hard work and dedication.

Here are the basics:

Puppy Kindergarten

This class designed to initiate the basics for your puppy (and you).

In 4 weeks you will be instructed and become familiar on:

* Crate Training

* Socialization

* Psychology

* Potty Training

* Positive Reinforcement

* Leash Training

* Grooming

4 weeks

Basic Obedience

In basic obedience you and your dog will learn how to train each other.

Through systematic positive reinforcement you and your dog have the best of both worlds.

You learn from them and they learn from you to provide a bond which is inseparable.

In the Basic Obedience Course instruction and familiarization will be on:

* Sit

* Loose lead walk

* Sit/Stay

* Down

* Down/Stay

* Stand

* Come when called

AKC’s Canine Good Citizen® (CGC) Program

Ultimately,
every dog owner will want to have their dog become a Canine Good
Citizen®. With every group of canines trained, we encourage handlers to
strive towards this criteria. Though not impossible, the tasks
involved take time to accomplish. We can offer this training through
private sessions, a one-on-one with handler, canine, and trainer. The
puppy kindergarten and the Basic Obedience courses we offer will give
you the groundwork to have your dog become a Canine Good Citizen.

Before
taking the Canine Good Citizen test, owners will sign the Responsible
Dog Owners Pledge. We believe that responsible dog ownership is a key
part of the CGC concept and by signing the pledge, owners agree to take
care of their dog's health needs, safety, exercise, training and quality
of life. Owners also agree to show responsibility by doing things such
as cleaning up after their dogs in public places and never letting dogs
infringe on the rights of others.

After
signing the Responsible Dog Owners Pledge, owners and their dogs are
ready to take the CGC Test. Items on the Canine Good Citizen Test
include:

Test 1: Accepting a friendly stranger

Test 2: Sitting politely for petting

Test 3: Appearance and grooming

Test 4: Out for a walk (walking on a loose lead)

Test 5: Walking through a crowd

Test 6: Sit and down on command and staying in place

Test 7: Coming when called

Test 8: Reaction to another dog

Test 9: Reaction to distraction

Test 10: Supervised separationWings-And-Warriors, at the very minimum, trains the dog and handler to the above requirements.

Public Access is one of the final stages of training. Each dog and handler will be evaluated to ensure that dogs who have public access are stable, well-behaved, and unobtrusive to the public.
